Year: 2005

Summary

Several steatite and ceramic sherds from site 36PE16 in Pennsylvania were analyzed

for residues. Previous testing of the site indicated multiple, stratified occupations dating from

Paleoindian to Late Woodland. The steatite and ceramic sherds were washed to recover

phytoliths and/or starches that would aid in identifying foods cooked using the vessels.
